Ipsec Securing Vpns

Jacket Description/Back: Improve network security using this comprehensive RSA Security-endorsed guidebookImplement IPSec across a virtual private network and you'll ensure the highest level of network security available. This authoritative book explains IP security protocols, ways to implement these protocols and VPN interoperability. Written in conjunction with and fully endorsed by the experts at RSA Security, this book offers comprehensive coverage of the technological components of IPSec and its underlying architecture. It also includes a case study detailing the configuration of a VPN client and security gateway with PKI components. For safeguarding your system and improving security across your network, this is the most definitive guide to IPSec. This book will show you how to: Understand the technological components of IPSecGet details on symmetric-key cryptographic algorithms-including AES and the other 4 AES finalists, CAST, Blowfish, IDEA, RC2, RC5, and SkipjackAssess the relative strength and speed of cryptographic algorithmsGet details on elliptic curve cryptography, digital signature standard, Diffie-Hellman key exchange, hash functions and message authentication codeLearn the differences between private and symmetric-key cryptosystemsUnderstand PKI infrastructure and the managed certificate protocolGain insight into Security Association (SA) and key managementImplement VPN solutions in a variety of scenariosMarc Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [383]-393) and index. Publisher Marketing: Written in conjunction with RSA Security - the most trusted name in e-security - this book gives a presentation of IPSec components, implementation, and VPN interoperability.
